A few days ago, the Chinese swimming team has entered the closed training stage, including Zhang Yufei, Wang Shun, Li Bingjie and other Tokyo Olympic champions, including many main players, have also begun to participate in the preparation stage of the 2022 Swimming World Championships and the Hangzhou Asian Games. A latest development posted by World Championship champion Xu Jiayu on his personal social platform has aroused heated discussion among many netizens. From several photos posted by Xu Jiayu, it can be seen that the "turtle" of the Chinese swimming team has a surprising amount of food. What makes people cry and laugh even more is that Xu Jiayu also deliberately ridiculed: Rice bucket challenge, success! Many netizens have left messages, "The big stomach king of the Chinese swimming team has appeared!" "How did Xu Jiayu make the rice so round?" ”
After months of silence on the Chinese swimming team, Xu Jiayu once again single-handedly helped the team brush a wave of heat. Earlier, Xu Jiayu had admitted in a guest show that he was very sorry that he did not win the men's 100-meter backstroke medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Especially in the men's and women's 4 by 100m medley relay final, due to some mistakes, it led to passing by the gold medal, which became an eternal pain in his heart. Talking about his plans for the Olympic cycle in Paris, Xu Jiayu said that although he has gone through the golden period of his career, he is still full of desire for Olympic champions in his heart.
As a business card of the Chinese men's swimming team, Xu Jiayu bluntly said that he would definitely compete in the Olympic Games again. The 2022 season is the most difficult and challenging year for Xu Jiayu. The Chinese swimming team has begun a new cycle of talent selection work, from the selected team members, all after 00, which also brought huge psychological pressure to veteran Xu Jiayu. For his own situation, Xu Jiayu not only did not have a sense of helplessness in an interview, but even humorously said that he had rich experience in the competition and could still become the "thigh" of young players.
Judging from the latest developments released by Xu Jiayu, he has been training with coaches. Not surprisingly, he will once again represent the Chinese team at the World Swimming Championships and the Hangzhou Asian Games. At the 2019 Budapest Swimming World Championships, Xu Jiayu rode through the world in the men's 100m final and successfully won the championship of the project, creating the best result in the history of the Chinese swimming team. At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, Xu Jiayu is also full of expectations. Previously, Japanese swimmer Irie Ganglingsuke has announced that he will participate in the Asian Games, and Xu Jiayu will encounter great challenges in the men's 200m and 100m backstroke events.
At the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, Xu Jiayu and his teammates set off a gold rush in the swimming arena. After four years, Xu Jiayu will launch an attack on the Asian Games gold medal in front of his hometown father and elder, and with his current strength and competitive status, it is not easy for Xu Jiayu to win the championship. But as he himself said, at the last Asian Games of his career, he didn't want to leave any regrets! Are you optimistic about his prospects for the Hangzhou Asian Games?
